net: introduce NETDEV_POST_INIT notifier 

For various purposes including a wireless extensions
bugfix, we need to hook into the netdev creation before
before netdev_register_kobject(). This will also ease
doing the dev type assignment that Marcel was working
on for cfg80211 drivers w/o touching them all.
